Welcome back to another Inkin’ Krew blog hop! Our very talented team is doing a blog hop featuring Stampin’ Up! products. This month we are all creating projects with a “Birthday” theme and I’m featuring the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set and Picture Perfect Party DSP for my project.
My card design was inspired by My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #371.
I started by cutting up a panel of Picture Perfect Party 6″ x 6″ DSP. I adhered the DSP panels to panels of Basic Black card stock and then to a Bermuda Bay card base with SNAIL. Then I stamped the sentiment from the Picture Perfect Birthday photopolymer stamp set in VersaMark Ink on a panel of Lemon Lime Twist card stock, sprinkled it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it.
I cut the sentiment out with a Layering Ovals Framelits Die and then adhered it with SNAIL to an oval cut from Basic Black card stock with a Stitched Shapes Framelits Die. I adhered the layered ovals with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the DSP panel. I cut a banner from the Picture Perfect Party DSP with a die from the Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies and I adhered it to the oval die cuts with SNAIL.
I cut the “you” sentiment from Silver Foil Sheets with a Celebrate You Thinlits Die and I adhered it with touches of Multipurpose Liquid Glue over the die cut banner. I added three glitter dots from the Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes pack to finish the card front.
I stamped the sentiment and bow images from the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set in Bermuda Bay & Pool Party inks on a Whisper White panel inside the card.
